When you commission a new work, you want everyone to have the chance to hear it.

That's why the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is touring the world premiere of Joe Chindamo's Flute Concerto. It will feature under the hands of Australia's most charismatic flutist Eliza Shephard. Whether you appreciate an artist's theatrical stage presence or astonishing technical skills, Shephard brings it all to the stage.

Chindamo is MSO's 2026 Composer in Residence and they are presenting another one of his Australian-composed works, Fantasie auf Nachtmusik. It reimagines Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik, so naturally they're pairing it with a composition by Mozart himself. But not the obvious one - MSO has picked the Linz symphony for you instead. When hearing a concert of rare works, why not take a chance on a lesser-performed Mozart too?
